It was in 2006. We used to have the monthly review meetings on a Friday. The highlight is to feast on pizzas after the meeting. It so happened that a movie trip was planned after the meeting and after lunch. We did not eat our pizza and saved it for the rainy season. The rainy season happened to be the 20 minutes before the movie time. Yes, we had planned to have a beer and then head for the movie. And so we went to the nearest TASMAC bar with our big pizza for the beer party. The place was as usual filthy and none of us sat down. We had the stand-up party with the pizza as an accompaniment to the beer. All the eyes were on the pizza, and the bearers in the bar never took their eyes off it. Slowly one of the waiter approached and said, 'Sir, it is pizza right? Sir, I haven't tasted it in my life and can I have a piece?' That's it! We were emotional and straight away gave him one and distributed most of the pieces to the other waiters. You should have seen the excitement and satisfaction in their faces! Then we set off for the movie. I still don't remember the movie name.
Now after a couple of years, I see that the bar has been shifted to some other place and in its place is a small time restaurant.
